VW, Vanlife & Self-Build Festivals (2026)

Alongside the big multi-brand shows, there are also specialist VW, vanlife and self-build gatherings. Dates can vary year to year, so always check organiser websites for the latest 2026 details before you book. One of the friendliest groups of people you'll meet on the road is at van life festivals and self-build gatherings. These events are a great way to get ideas, meet people who share your interests, and get inspired for your next project, whether you're travelling in a fully outfitted campervan, working on your first DIY build, or just curious about the lifestyle. You can expect everything from hands-on workshops and build demos to street food, live music, and beautifully crafted conversions that you can see up close. A lot of people who come here leave with useful upgrades, new skills, or a new burst of motivation to start their own build. These festivals are also great for families, solo travellers, and weekend adventurers who want a laid-back, friendly atmosphere where they can camp on-site, talk to the owners, and learn from a lot of other people. This is where the creativity flows if you want to make your van feel more like home.
